Too bad... hopefully the driver made it out ok. Lucky it was right hand drive!
Buyer beware on this puppy. I used to have a job in autobody/recycling long ago. We specialized in 5.0 mustangs. Anytime a car was hit hard enough to move the engine or tranny, the boss wouldn't buy it. Many times these cars have engine and tranny bearing damage. The engines will run, but after a few hundred or thousand miles a bearing will finally over-heat and wipe or spin.
Looking at this car the tranny got hit hard enough to permanently displace the engine. (You can see how it is shifted a few degrees off center in the engine bay photo.) This may mean bad news for the entire driveline.
Sometimes it's best to let a dead dog lie...
Just my 2 cents.
